OYSTERS AND MILK. 279 



stomachs with savoury morsels, we have charity enough 

 to give them this prescription to relieve their misery : 

 " If oysters are felt lying too cold or heavy on the 

 stomach, in consequence of too many having been eaten, 

 a pint of new milk, taken immediately, will dissolve the 

 oysters into a cream-jelly, and thus dissipate all symp- 

 toms of indisposition. Persons who are weak or con- 

 sumptive should always take this after a meal of 

 oysters." 



Having thus, in the sayings of Dr Kitchener, furnished 

 an antidote to the probable effects of his too seductive 

 eloquence, we hope that our readers are prepared for the 

 coming of the oyster- times foretold by M. Coste.
